Colorado reporting in - I'm calling bullshit.
Quoting: kungfart You can call bullshit all you like :) But then you can also look at the numerous studies, both in the US and Canada, proving that violent crime is much reduced where marijuana is legal.
And it makes perfect sense, to boot... nearly all crime related to marijuana is actually related to illegal trafficking, law enforcement and the growth and movement of illegal marijuana. Make it legal, you take away the incentive for criminal activity.
Unless of course you're referring to the violent assault of the refrigerator about an hour in, but that's a totally different beast
Exercise your common sense for a moment and see what it tells you.
Let me tell you something dimwit! Don't take this personally but FUCK YOU and your dope smoking attitude. People like you proliferate this drug abuse. This not only impacts legal aged adults but it is making this crap even more accessible to our children. It is not like drinking a beer or two. I don't condone that either but this lab grown ultra potent weed will send you for a loop all day long. Then people go to work, drive down the road, etc, etc. Great for medical use blah blah blah. Maybe it is. Make it available via prescription. The one thing I have noticed is that people will abuse the hell out of it. I have known some very smart people that had great potential get caught up in smoking dope. People become infatuated with it. Most are dirtbags digging a deeper hole. How many successful people do you know that smoke dope? I don't know a single person. It is the devils lettuce! Go ahead sell your soul to the devil and that is precisely what is wrong with people today. People seem to want to self medicate and numb themselves from this unjust world. Your moral compass is off by 180 degrees. I urge you to spend more time reading the bible and less time smoking dope. Time is short. How about standing up for something good and righteous like Jesus Christ?
Please don't make Christians look stupid or bring Jesus into your opinions. Then cursing at other people...
I love Jesus and I read my Bible every day. I want to be a Christian counselor. I have autism and a nerve disorder and I've been on many prescriptions all of my life. A few years ago a US Marine risked a lot to get me cannabis oil and now I'm off all the synthetic prescriptions that were keeping me bed ridden and I'm volunteering 3 days a week at the Christian ministry.
I really don't understand where all the stigma against cannabis comes from because for the first time in my life I'm able to contribute to my community and feel like I have some worth and not a drain on society. I'm hoping to get off disability soon now.
It's not like how Hollywood made it out to be, I am able to get up and do things now with THC and CBD oil. Both of them help me. CBG also helps. CBN helps with sleep. THCV is a great antidepressant. This plant is an entire pharmacy in one plant. It's remarkable. There's 113+ different cannabinoids, not just THC and CBD. Plus terpenes come into play, over 400 compounds total. It's very narrow minded to lump high THC/low CBD strains in with low THC/high CBD strains also. Different strains do very different things.
The prescriptions would have side effect after side effect, then they would stop working. They did much more harm than good. We have an endocannabinoid system that can get deficient just like omega 3's or vitamin D. Cannabinoids are in mothers milk.
Some strains breeders did breed most of the CBD out and raised only the THC levels for the head high. I use oil that is higher in CBD but it still needs THC for the entourage effect.
Please don't talk about things you don't understand and then bring Jesus into it because you make Christians look stupid.
God made cannabis for the human body
"Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
Genesis 1:29
It's original use was eating the raw flower or using hemp oil. Smoking it became a side use. I don't smoke it. I use the oil and also juice raw flower.
It's saved my life in many ways and made me a stronger Christian. I'm off all of the man made chemicals they made to profit off the sick for. I thank Jesus for making cannabis. I'm able to focus enough to read now where I could only use the audio Bible before. Cannabis doesn't make me lazy. I depend on it to function.
Honestly it's very hurtful to view statements like this when people like me are still fighting for this and have a very hard time getting it. We risk losing disability if we get caught, or going to jail. Our life is already bad enough and filled with pain and misery. Please leave cannabis and the disabled alone who are telling you we need this, it's the only thing keeping many of us going, many of us were suicidal before cannabis oil. It's stopped my depression and panic attacks, and stopped my nerve pain. I'm not a giggling teenage stoner, I'm a grown adult. I couldn't go in public with autism because of issues I won't get into, but now I can, and I can't explain what that means to be able to leave a room that became a prison for me for over a decade. The isolation was horrible.
It's been a very hard life and the one thing that works I have to feel like a bad Christian for using, or a criminal. It's really cruel.
It's helping 80% of kids with autism. Helping them go to school and do their schoolwork. It's allowing them to have a chance at life. They aren't stoners or potheads. And they often are using high THC oil. The stigma against cannabis is wrong. The disabled community and veterans with PTSD deserve a break, please think about people who have to use this medicine and have tried everything else and this is all that works.

Sorry, this is tough issue for me, I'm really tired and want all this to be over. I don't even want cannabis to be what works, I'd do ANYTHING for one of those stupid pills to have worked so I don't have to go through this every day.
